1976 Porsche 914

Description

The affordable, fun, and nimble German sportscar has really come into its own on the classic market. This 1976 Porsche 914 has a great color combo, the right features, and the unmistakable feeling of a great driving machine engineered in Stuttgart. And it's all available today at an affordable price.

1976 was the final year for the 914. Besides the rarity of less than 8,000 produced, all the years of development really makes this one the model to have. The design was one of the most interesting Porsche ever made. It follows the same principal of the 911 that made sure the tall fender line helped you understand where the front edges of the car were, but then it adds is a completely sleek front end with the aid of pop up headlights. Silver seems to be the ideal color for this coupe. It has a great presentation in the sunshine, which is exactly where you're going to be spending plenty of time thanks to the targa top. Plus, the hue coordinates nicely with the darker elements such as the bumpers, roof, and b-pillar.

A later model 914 also means a more comfortable interior that includes an optional center console. This is a nicely presented space with seat covers that are so crisp we suspect they are very correct reproductions. Also the door panels, carpeting, and dash all show signs of care in their preservation. This is a true driver's car at its heart with the classic Porsche sports steering wheel, and a gearbox that is perfectly positioned for your right hand. And the positioning of the heat/defrost and AM/FM stereo controls should be familiar to anyone who knows the classic 911. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view of what's going on in the engine bay.

You're looking at the original powerplant for this coupe, and it's hard not to make comparisons to the modern Porsche Boxster. After all, the 2.0-liter flat-four motor is mounted in the center to give you the best balance on the road. And just like the Boxster, this setup also gives you two trunks. You get to make the most out of this powerplant thanks to fuel-injection and the control that comes from a five-speed manual transmission. With a car this well-balanced, you'll also love the fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. It makes for a total package that will have you constantly looking for the long and winding road home.

Porsche made affordability exciting with the 914, and this nicely preserved classic is ready to be taken home right now by the first one to grab this deal. Call today!!!
